Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a bicycle brake lever assembly provided with a speed change operation mechanism. More specifically, the present invention relates to a bicycle brake lever assembly which allows stable steering control as well as a quick braking operation during a speed change operation.
  • a speed change operation assembly for a sports-type bicycle such as a racing bicycle has been typically mounted on a bicycle frame, for example, on a down tube or on a top tube.
  • a hand In order to perform a speed change operation, therefore, a hand must be removed from a handlebar.
  • a bicycle rider tries to assume an optimum riding posture for efficient riding and minimum fatigue. For this reason, the rider grips different places of the handlebar according to different riding conditions such as variation in speeds from low to high, as well as various road conditions such as flat and slope.
  • a first riding posture is assumed wherein grip portions at each low end of a generally U-shaped portions are gripped.
  • a second riding posture is assumed wherein brake brackets are gripped by engaging crotches between thumb and forefinger with respective top faces of the brake brackets.
  • This second riding posture is the most relaxing posture for a rider, and is assumed often for a majority of time during the ride. Therefore, it is necessary to be able to perform brake operation and speed change operation in the first and second riding postures.
  • the Japanese Patent Laid-open Hei 2-225191 proposes an arrangement wherein a brake lever is pivotable in directions other than the directions for a brake operation.
  • the brake lever also functions as a speed change lever. Therefore, it is possible for a rider to perform a speed change operation and brake operation at the same time.
  • speed change operation is performed by pivotally moving the brake lever in directions different from the directions for a brake operation. For this reason, a rider may be misled to perform a speed change operation at a time when a brake operation is required or vice versa. In other words the brake operation may be confused with a speed change operation, leading to deteriorated running safety.
  • a speed change operation is performed by changing the amount of winding of a speed control cable in correspondence to each speed step.
  • a brake operation an increase in the amount of force to pull a brake cable results in a greater braking force. Therefore, when a brake operation and a speed change operation is performed by using one operation lever, it is necessary to regulate the force for pivotally moving the lever in order to control braking force while it is also necessary to regulate the amount of pivotal movement of the lever to perform a speed change operation. For this reason, a certain level of mastery is necessary to distinctively control a brake operation and a speed change operation on a single operation lever.
  • the present invention provides a bicycle brake lever assembly comprising a brake bracket for attachment to a handlebar and a brake lever pivoted to the brake bracket, wherein the brake lever assembly includes a speed change lever provided behind the brake lever, and a speed change operation mechanism responsive to the operation of the speed change lever for winding or paying out a control cable extending in the brake bracket, the speed change lever is supported to pivot about an axis perpendicular to an axis of the handlebar, the speed change lever being elastically urged by a spring to a neutral position which is a commencing point from which the speed change lever pivots in cable winding and paying out directions, whereas the speed change operation mechanism includes: a cable winding member rotatably supported around a shaft perpendicular to the axis of the handlebar: a transmission mechanism which allows the cable winding member to rotate integrally with the speed change lever when the speed change lever is pivoted from the neutral position in the cable winding or paying out direction while disengaging the speed change lever from the cable winding member when the speed change lever returns
